PERFECT CONDITION - JACK NICKLAUS £5 NOTE

This set comprises of a BRAND NEW Jack Nicklaus £5 note, a BRAND NEW sleeve and a BRAND NEW envelope all issued by The Royal Bank of Scotland.

In the centre of the sleeve it says:

Jack Nicklaus

Celebrating over 40 years

Of Open history

A commemorative banknote

The front of the £5 note is largely the same as the existing Royal Bank of Scotland £5 notes, apart from the fact the golden bear logo is shown and that the serial number only appears once. In addition all the serial numbers for this commemorative banknote commence with “JWN” short for Jack William Nicklaus.

The reverse of the banknote has been completely redesigned and shows images of Jack holding the claret jug and playing a shot during his way to victory at St Andrews in 1978.

The R&A clubhouse is depicted on the top left hand portion of the note and in the bottom left, Jack’s winning scores at St Andrews in 1970 (when he won an 18 hole play-off with Doug Sanders) and in 1978 are depicted.

On the bottom right hand side of the note, the tee at the 18^th hole can be seen along with the swilken bridge. A card of the course for the 2005 Open is also shown.

On the reverse of the sleeve it says:

37 Open Championship

appearances. 3 wins,

7 Runners-up, 18 top tens.

1 Jack Nicklaus

Since his first appearance in 1962 to what is likely to be his last (38^th) in 2005, Jack Nicklaus has been part of The Open Championship and its modern day history. With all three of his Open wins coming in Scotland (Muirfield 1966 and St Andrews 1970 & 1978) Jack’s love affair with Scotland and the special place he has in the hearts of the Scottish people, is well known.

The £5 note has been issued to mark Jack Nicklaus’ remarkable career and is the first time, outside of the Royal family, that a commemorative note has been issued by RBS for a living person.

The Royal Bank of Scotland Group is proud to have an association with the “Golden Bear”, hailed by many as the greatest golfer ever to play the game.
